In his address 1'1r. Weber charged
the Russian restrictive laws as being
resp .nslble . for the mlsrry and perse- .
cutlon of which people read and hear.
He stated that there wonld ne no
peace , no substantial reller for the
Bufferers until the tota lsappearance
trom Bussln of either the Jawor the
special laws direct against him. ,
Taking lip the laws regarding.the
right or residence which the speaker
characterized liS espedally hard and
oppressl ve , he brlerly sketcherl the
blstory or the lJl\lclal \ decrees regulating -
ting the area \ ithln which the .Tews
were permitted to live during the
) . . past for ty years.
Summing up the status of tbe Jew
In Russia , rr. Weber said :
"Today he Is an aHen In the laud' '
Df his bIrth. a slIhject who beurs an
undue shure Jf the bill deus of oed
Ito\'ernlllent without the prl vlleges of

Mr. Weier asserted stroflgly tbo :
moral obligation IInd the legal rl ht ;
of the Ueiled States to protcst to
'the Russian go\'err ruent against Its
tl'eatment' Jews and said :
"We cannot look with unconcern
upon the arrival of the thousands of
